His season proved difficult, with Drugovich scoring points only one occasion, finishing in sixth place in race one of the Hungary round. He was set for another points finish in race two before contact with Robert Shwartzman while fighting for third place resulted in a puncture, and they both ultimately retired from the race. Drugovich ended the season sixteenth in the standings with eight points, scoring more points than his two teammates combined.

FIA Formula 2 Championship 2020

Drugovich was signed to MP Motorsport for the 2020 season, partnering Nobuharu Matsushita. He impressed on his debut in Austria, qualifying second. After dropping positions on the opening lap, he eventually finished eighth, which placed him on reverse pole for the sprint race. He proceeded to lead every lap and claim his maiden Formula 2 victory, despite multiple safety car interruptions. His momentum stalled in the second Austrian round, where he qualified tenth and finished outside the points in both races. In Budapest, Drugovich qualified eighteenth but employed an alternate tyre strategy in the feature race, recovering to fifth. A poor start in the sprint race left him outside the points.

He secured his maiden pole position in Silverstone, but lacked race pace in the feature race, finishing seventh, while he finished sixth in the sprint. The second Silverstone round yielded a single point, with a tenth-place finish in the feature race. Drugovich qualified fourth in Barcelona but lost a place at the start of the feature race. A well-timed pit stop elevated him to second place before a safety car neutralised the field; after switching to fresh tyres, he ultimately finished seventh. He responded in the sprint race with a dominant performance, taking the lead at the start before going on to win by nine seconds. His campaign suffered a downturn starting from Spa-Francorchamps, where contact with teammate Matsushita damaged his car and resulted in a last-place finish; this was later compounded by a post-race disqualification due to pitting on the last lap.

Drugovich endured a further non-scoring weekend in Monza after qualifying outside the top eight, before being taken out of the sprint by Roy Nissany. His poor run was briefly interrupted in Mugello where he finished fourth in the feature race after losing a podium position on the last lap. In the sprint race however, a car issue slowed him whilst running in the points, and he classified fifteenth. More misfortune befell Drugovich in Sochi as he was eliminated in an opening lap collision during the feature race. Drugovich returned to form in Bahrain by qualifying second, and he eventually won the feature race by fourteen seconds after passing polesitter Ilott on-track. During the second Bahrain round, Drugovich qualified fifth and added a third place finish in the feature race following a post-race penalty for Nikita Mazepin. Drugovich concluded his rookie Formula 2 season ninth in the championship with 121 points, recording three wins, one pole and four podiums.

2021 Drugovich driving the Dallara F2 2018 at the 2021 Silverstone Formula 2 round. Drugovich joined UNI-Virtuosi Racing in , alongside Guanyu Zhou. He began the year strongly in Bahrain by qualifying third. However, his race results were compromised by incidents and strategic setbacks; front wing damage in the first sprint necessitated a pit stop and he finished sixteenth, while a late safety car in the second sprint dropped him down the order after an early charge. In the feature race, Drugovich ran in the top three during the opening phase, but his pace faded following a safety car, eventually finishing ninth after a penalty for a safety car infringement. In Monaco, Drugovich secured his first podium of the season during the first sprint race after inheriting second place following Christian Lundgaard's retirement. A gamble on slick tyres during mixed conditions in the second sprint proved unsuccessful, but recovered in the feature race, executing an early pit stop to finish third after an incident for Dan Ticktum ahead.

Drugovich endured a tough weekend in Baku. A first-lap collision with Oscar Piastri in the opening sprint earned him a ten-second penalty, which dropped him out of the top ten, while he also failed to score points in the second sprint despite making up positions. He rebounded in the feature race with a charge to fourth place. More consistent points followed in Silverstone, with finishes of fourth, sixth and sixth across the three races. His momentum stalled in Monza, as he crashed out of the first sprint race after taking out Dan Ticktum earlier. He made limited progress in the second sprint, while confusion over front wing damage during his pit stop in the feature race dropped him to twelfth, concluding the weekend without points.

Further misfortune befell Drugovich in Sochi, where he crashed en route to the sprint race grid and was declared unfit to compete in the remainder of the event. Drugovich returned to form in Jeddah, qualifying fifth and finishing fourth in the opening sprint race. Contact from Jüri Vips behind hindered his pace during the second sprint, though post-race penalties elevated him to tenth. He secured fifth place in a red-flagged feature race. At the Abu Dhabi finale, Drugovich qualified eighth and finished second in the opening sprint after pressuring Daruvala throughout the race. He added further points in the second sprint, before concluding the season with a third-place podium in the feature race, overtaking Robert Shwartzman late on an alternate strategy. Drugovich ended the season eighth in the drivers' standings with 105 points and four podiums, but did not win a race.

2022: Champion Drugovich racing for MP Motorsport during the 2022 Spielberg Formula 2 round. Drugovich re-joined MP Motorsport for 2022, this time partnering FIA Formula 3 graduate Clément Novalak. Upon re-joining the Dutch outfit, he stated that he "felt at home". In Bahrain, Drugovich qualified tenth and started from reverse pole in the sprint race, where he had a poor start and only managed to recover to fifth. In the feature race, an early pit stop strategy saw him run as high as second before dropping back to sixth on ageing tyres. In Jeddah, Drugovich secured his first pole position of the season. He finished fourth on the road in the sprint race after numerous overtakes, but was promoted to the podium following the post-race disqualification of Jake Hughes. The next day, he proceeded to dominate the feature race to claim his first win of the year, taking the championship lead for the first time. In Imola, Drugovich qualified twelfth but recovered to fifth in the sprint race after gaining multiple positions on the opening corner, before passing Logan Sargeant on the final lap. A safety car compromised his alternative strategy in the feature race, limiting him to tenth, which dropped him to second in the standings behind Théo Pourchaire.

In Barcelona, Drugovich was due to start on reverse pole for the sprint race, but was penalised three places for impeding. Despite this setback, he managed to take the lead into the first corner, and remained unchallenged for the remainder of the race to secure the victory. In the feature race, a strong pit strategy allowed him to rejoin in the top three, and he soon dispatched his rivals to take the win. His double victory marked the first time a driver won both races during a FIA Formula 2 weekend, which significantly extended his championship lead. Despite crashing in qualifying in Monaco, Drugovich inherited pole position following a penalty for Liam Lawson. A puncture in the sprint race ended his sprint prematurely on lap 20, but he rebounded in the feature race, resisting sustained pressure from Pourchaire to claim his fourth victory of the season. In Baku, he qualified fifth and finished in the same position during the sprint. In the feature race, Drugovich inherited third place after late-race incidents ahead, extending his championship advantage to 51 points.

Drugovich (pictured in Silverstone) secured five wins on his way to taking the Formula 2 title. In Silverstone, Drugovich qualified third and scored consistently across the weekend, fifth in a wet sprint race and fourth in the feature race after a last-lap pass on Frederik Vesti. In Austria, he placed fourth in the sprint race, though a strategic misstep backfired for Drugovich in the feature race after starting on wet tyres on a drying track; he finished eleventh. In France, he qualified second, but his lap time was deleted due to track limits, dropping him to sixth. He finished fourth in the sprint race, later being promoted to the podium following a penalty ahead, and concluded the weekend with fourth place in the feature race. In Budapest, despite qualifying third, tyre degradation limited him to ninth in the feature race, allowing Pourchaire to close the gap further ahead of the summer break.

Drugovich claimed pole in Spa-Francorchamps, and recovered from twelfth to fourth following a late pit stop for fresh tyres. He finished second in the feature race after being undercut by Jack Doohan during the pit stop phase. In Zandvoort, he secured consecutive poles for the first time in his career, and returned to winning form in the feature race, extending his championship lead to 69 points. In Monza, Drugovich qualified fourth, but received a grid penalty for the sprint race after breaching yellow flag regulations. Despite retiring early after contact with Amaury Cordeel, Pourchaire's non-scoring finish ensured Drugovich was crowned the 2022 FIA Formula 2 Champion. He added points in the feature race with sixth place despite limited pace. At the Abu Dhabi finale, Drugovich secured third place late in the sprint race after a move on Amaury Cordeel, and concluded the season with second place in the feature race after pressuring Ayumu Iwasa during the closing laps. Drugovich ended the year as champion with 265 points; 101 ahead of Pourchaire; recording five wins, four poles and eleven podiums.

Formula One On 12 September 2022, two days after winning the 2022 Formula 2 Championship, Drugovich was announced as the first member of the newly formed AMF1 Driver Development Programme, while also joining Aston Martin as a reserve driver. He made his first appearance in a Formula One car by testing the AMR21 at Silverstone in early November, fulfilling the necessary requirements to obtain an FIA Super Licence and participate in free practice at the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Drugovich also took part in the post-season test in Abu Dhabi with Aston Martin.

For the season, Drugovich, alongside fellow Aston Martin reserve Stoffel Vandoorne, was added to McLaren's pool of reserve drivers for the first 15 races of the championship. He drove the Aston Martin AMR23 during the first session of pre-season testing in Bahrain after Lance Stroll suffered an injury in a cycling accident. Shortly after leaving the pit lane for the first time, Drugovich was forced to stop his car on track due to an electrical fault, triggering a red flag. He returned to the car on the final morning of testing and completed a combined total of 117 laps. Additional running followed in private tests with the AMR21 at Silverstone in April and at the Red Bull Ring in June. Drugovich returned to the AMR23 for first practice at the , before undertaking further testing at the Hungaroring in September, At the , he participated in first practice, finishing second fastest, and later completed 123 laps in the post-season test.

Drugovich continued as test and reserve driver for Aston Martin in . In September, he participated in tyre testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for Pirelli's prototype tyres. He made his first free practice appearance of the season at the , finishing eighteenth, before returning to the car for first practice at the , where he set the ninth fastest time.

Following his signing with Andretti in Formula E, Drugovich departed Aston Martin following the .

Formula E In April 2023, Drugovich was selected to drive for Maserati MSG Racing during the Formula E Berlin rookie test, finishing first, setting a lap just two tenths slower than the best time in the SABIC Berlin E-Prix of Maximilian Günther. Drugovich returned with Maserati during the rookie practice session at the Rome ePrix, in which he once again topped the timesheets.

Drugovich returned with Maserati in the Berlin rookie test held in May 2024.

Mahindra (2025) 2024–25 season

During the 2025 Berlin ePrix, Drugovich made his Formula E debut with Mahindra Racing alongside Edoardo Mortara, stepping in for an absent Nyck de Vries who fulfilled driving duties in the FIA World Endurance Championship. He endured a difficult debut as a drive-through penalty at the start of the race due to a gearbox change effectively ruined his race, and he finished in 17th place. Despite another difficult qualifying in the second race, two late Attack Modes allowed him to charge up the field, eventually collecting his maiden points in seventh.

Andretti (2025–) 2025–26 season

Following a successful cameo appearance, Andretti signed Drugovich to compete in the 2025–26 season alongside 2022–23 champion Jake Dennis. After crashing in qualifying for the season opener at São Paulo, Drugovich climbed up the order late in the race by being able to use attack mode after a late safety car; however, a penalty for overtaking two cars during a full-course yellow period demoted him from fifth to 12th. In Mexico City, Drugovich started and finished 15th. He then qualified second for the Miami ePrix and fought for a podium place in a rain-affected race, before misjudging his braking point entering turn 13 on lap 26 and hitting the back of António Félix da Costa's Jaguar. The subsequent pit stop for a new front wing and a ten-second penalty caused Drugovich to finish 18th. At Jeddah, Drugovich finished the two races 15th and 12th, the former being caused by debris getting stuck in a radiator duct which forced Drugovich to drive conservatively to manage the battery's temperatures. Drugovich briefly took the lead in Madrid thanks to an early attack mode activation, but subsequently slid down the order to finish 15th.

2026–27 season Drugovich will remain at Andretti into the Gen4 era alongside Jake Dennis for the 2026–27 season.

The No. 10 Vector car then finished tenth overall at Spa, before Drugovich was forced to miss the penultimate round at Mugello due to a "clash"; he was replaced by Patrick Pilet. At the Portimão season finale, the Vector entry retired, leaving it 12th of the 14 LMP2 Pro lineups in the teams' standings.
